and that is the reason that they said to sell Waiwakaiho. But I do not like their contentious proposal. You and the Governor should think about this matter. That's all. From Te Puni Petone 15 September 1851 Young man, McLean, Hear what I have to say. I forgot about the people who spoke to you, I did not see if they returned to the place they spoke of. My parents died and I didn't see if they returned to that place. But take note, I do not speak about the land of another person, so don't say that I have fooled you and Kawana. Listen, I was going again to listen to your proposal, but then they may have turned and attacked me, so I stayed put.

Kia rongo mai koe te putake o ta koutou korero mo Wakahukuwai, mo Te Taita[?], mo nga whenua o Kawana, i homai e ia ki au. Kua hoatu e Kawana nga whenua ki a ratou a Waiwetu, a Pipitea, a Wiremutaone. Kahore nga tangata o Pitoone i te rere ki runga ki o ratou whenua,
